Maybe it's been up for a while and I just noticed it. 25 bucks for a T-shirt. Wonder who designed the store - it would be easier to have dropdowns instead of repeating the same shirt in 4 or 5 different color varations. Major wasted space the way it is set up now! www.lonelygirl15.com/store/Save yourself some time and click on the "graphics" button and you can see what designs were chosen. I don't even get the dinosaur one with a circle through it. No dinosaurs?

UMM $25 total for THAT?! I know they're desperate for money and only charging a lot will help but still, I really don't think m/any will be willing to shell out all that for such a non-descript shirt. At least I wouldn't, even at my height of obsession.

Yeah, there was a fair bit of discussion at the phorum about the bad UI. I think it might be autogenerated one by spreadshirt (who they are buying shirts from), regardless it should be cleaned up quick.
When it first opened they were $30, then Miles made a post about them not wanting to make much money off them, but just wanted to move them so he lowered the price to $19.99.
For those interested they are buying the shirts for $15, which doesn't seem like the best deal. It is possible to get real Screen printed shirts for around $15 (on orders of 20+) instead of these Plot printed ones. Personally, I don’t like anything other than screen printed Ts, but maybe I am just pickier than the average person about the quality of my t-shirts. At least they are using AA shirts.
Oh, yeah and the designs are kind of lame. I get that they have to be vector designs, but these ones look very clip artish to me. I suppose along with not being computer guys, the creators can list that they are not fashion designers either.

I think the designs are kinda uninspiring. Walking around in a Lonelygirl15 shirt these days (after everyone knows what it is and has an opinion most likely) is the same as sporting a Friends, or Windows Vista or whatever shirt. I so wouldn't subject myself to that. If they had at least made it LG15, then it would have kept some cool The only design that is a little creative is the no evolution one (I suppose that what crossed out dinosaurs reperesent), while that is somewhat funny, I so wouldn't wear that either, because 99% of people on the streets would probably assume I'm a reiligious nut, especially after explaining psw to them. Urgh. Man, could have been so easy, they should have just gotten some real talent on the job, like getting maybe some of the crowd over at www.threadless.com/ interested in doing some designs. Now those are fun to wear and totally worth the money. 15 bucks a piece, can't argue with that.

Dunno about anyone else... but that "It's a juicer... for juicing things." graphic on the shirt looks... uhm... inappropriate, to say the least. I mean.... they should have either done more generic things or stuff that's a lot less symbolic and cryptic. Or sheesh, at least spell out 'Proving Science Wrong" not just PSW. I didn't even get what it stood for until I saw the above posts. Granted, that may be just me... but having watched the show almost since it's start, I didn't even know what it was talking about. And... suffice it to say, even if I would buy a shirt... they don't come in my size. I won't lie, I'm a big person. And I like my shirts roomy. I could squeeze into an XXL... but it would be like putting a rubber band around something squishy... not pretty. So yeah, even if I might buy one of those cryptic shirts.... I wouldn't look good wearing it... haha. I figure I should just spare everyone the agonizing horror....
